I have a 629 (I want to say -3) that Andy did a complete make-over on. I bought it used about a year ago in mint condition for about $750; at the time I was considering a new 5" full lug 629 and the new gun would have cost quite a bit more. He did a sweet action job to it, narrowed and contoured the trigger, polished the trigger and hammer (looks real nice), numbered the cylinder holes and Metaloy hard-chromed it. Compared to my other 629 (that's only had a mild action job done to it) it's easy to shoot it well. I've heard of quality issues with Andy's work, but it's not apparent on my gun.

Needless to say I STILL want that 5" full-lug 629 before Smith decides to stop producing them...
